4. General notes for operation

TRANSICORD 10480 V2 consists of 2 devices: The testing unit TRANSICORD 10483 V2
and the control module TRANSICORD 10482.

The testing unit TRANSICORD 10483 V2 has an axially mobile turning spindle which is
driven with a very dynamic, brushless servomotor. The axial movement of the turning
spindle is steered with compressed air. On the end of this spindle the compensation head
TRANSICORD 10002 is fastened. The compensation head compensates small position and
angular errors of the tested work-piece. The compensation head is also used for receiving
the thread gauge member. Before the testing sequence starts the thread to be checked
must be placed aligned to the turning spindle and fixed against rotation. The examining
process is started by an electrical start signal.

The handy control module TRANSICORD 10482 is connected to the testing unit with a
signal cable and serves for the manual setting of the examining process as well as
displaying results and reports. The control module can mounted user friendly at an
accessible place.

TRANSICORD 10480 V2 screws in the thread gauge member after receiving an external
start signal. It controls the testing procedure with the measurement of the length of the
screw in and the torque used.

TRANSICORD 10480 V2 tests external and internal thread attributive. With other words the
result of the tests will be „Go“, „NoGo“ and „Rework“.

The result is shown on the display when the testing procedure has finished. It will be
distributed via an optocoupler interface (see chapter 8). The display will freeze till the next
result is received. Alternatively the result can also be read out via optocoupler isolated TTY
interface. The TTY has the benefit that the thread depth and the torque can be read out in
addition. Furthermore all parameters can be transferred through this interface in two
directions. Statistics about the test results are shown at the display.

The following tests can be carried out:

• Go gauging

• Go gauging with thread depth measurement

• NoGo gauging

BA 10480 V2 E 0512/LTA

7/27

• Limit / Go-NoGo gauging (for through taped internal thread only)

On one hand the test result depends whether the set, maximum torque of screw in is

reached (see chapter. 7.2.5). On the other hand, it is dependent how far the gauge member
can be screwed in.

For the screw in procedure different testing levels control the behaviour of the testing unit:

T0 = Base level of the spindle (not turning of the spindle)

T1 = Start of the thread according to the component drawing.

T2 = Minimum depth at the Go gauging. T2 must be reached before the result „GUT“

(Go) can be generated. If T2 is not reached, the result will be „NA“ for Rework.

T3 = Maximal depth for the NoGo gauging. If T3 is reached the result will be „AUS“
for NoGo.

TR = From this level the rotation speed will be reduced to the inserting speed. The
rotation speed should be reduced before the level T2, resp. T3 is reached. At T2 or
T3 the gauge normally will run tight. To save gauges and avoid blocking of the
machine due to tightening at high speed and torque the speed should be reduced
before running tight usually.

5 Installation

5.1 Mechanical setup of the testing unit TRANSICORD 10483 V2

In principle, the testing unit can be put in all orientations. Take special care, however, when
checking below up that no dirt and liquid can penetrate into the spindle case. These can cause
disturbances in the long run. Please gather the necessary connection measures to the fastening
from the drawing in chapter 11. An adjustable connection console is recommended in order to align
the spindle to the component in the fixture.
The compensation head allows wrong position of the thread axis of the component to the spindle
axis of maximal 0.6 mm and 0.6 degrees. The more exactly the component is placed the less
friction you have at the testing procedure.
Fasten the thread gauge member on the compensation head. Before you can alternatively screw in
the gauge member into the component and pull the spindle at the gauge to check the alignment of
the spindle to component (only permitted without power supply and compressed air connection!).
Take care that the most possible, mechanical lift of the spindle is never exceeded. Take also in
account that faulty parts may require longer lift. We recommend a distance of approx. 5 mm
between the gauge and the component surface when the spindle is fully lifted (base level T0.) Pay
attention to the possible collision risks in automatic and setting mode!
As the component mostly is dimensioned form its face make sure that the thread start is always
fixed in the same position and will not be influenced of tolerances of other measures of the
component. Otherwise the component tolerances have influence on the thread depth measuring
and influence the test result. Pay attention to a good clamping so it will not break out by stress
during the testing process. A good clamping will guarantee a good test result of the thread depth
measurement.
Take care that it can never come to collisions at the work-piece transport. Heavy damages are
inevitably the consequence. Therefore the work-piece only may be moved when the spindle is fully
back and in base level (T0) and the "Ready" signal is shown(see chapter 5-3-1 and chapter 8).
Take possible errors also into you calculation (e.g. compressed air, power supply, failure of
components).

Connect the testing unit via an air maintenance unity to the compressed air supply when the unit is
mounted and fixed in position. Please adjust 4 to 6 bar. Do not oil the compressed air.

Ensure a regular lubrication of the gauge member. The wear on the gauge is reduced
considerably and extends its life time with that.

5.2 Connection of the Control Module TRANSICORD 10482

Fasten the control module with the enclosed wall mountings to a well accessible place and
connect the testing with the delivered Interconnecting Cable 10484. This has a length of 2
metres. Extend the cable under no circumstances. The proper operation of TRANSICORD
10480 V2 can be ensured only with the original cable.

The control module should remain connected to the testing unit permanently.

Avoid to align the Interconnecting Cable 10484 parallel to high-power cables. Protect
the interconnecting cable against damages by installing it in a cable channel.

5.3 Connection to SPC

Attach the SPC to the testing unit TRANSICORD 10483 V2 according to the appending
terminal connection plan (see chapter 12). Use a shielded cable and apply the screen one­sided! Take into account that the optocoupler interface needs a power supply of its own. To
avoid ground loops use two additional wires to connect the optocoupler supply to the SPC
power supply.

Program your SPC so that a trouble-free operation is ensured. Follow the following
instruction in any case:

5.3.1 Testing sequence can only be started when the spindle is in base level (T0), the
„READY“-Signal is supplied and no error occurs.

5.3.2 Power supply faults are detected by TRANSICORD.

5.3.3 Errors are distributed over output "/FEHLER" and shown as a text at on the display.

Follow the announced instructions. Errors can be collected via the TTY interface.

5.3.4 Move the component only when the spindle is in base level (T0), the „READY“­ signal is supplied and no error occurs. While the testing sequence is running the
component must be fixed tight.

5.3.5 The result of the test is distributed when the testing sequence is completed and the

spindle is at base level (T0) again. Until the distribution of the next result the present
test results can be collected. In this time period the communication via the TTY
interface also can take place. For safety reasons the TTY interface is only active,
when the testing program is running see chapter 2.4) or the "READY" signal is
displayed (NO IN THE SETTING MODE).

5.3.6 The advices are also important for the setting mode! Draw you attention especially

to a possible collision and a correct clamping and positioning of the components.

Further description you find at chapter 8.

5.4 Power supply

Connect the testing unit to the unregulated power supply TRANSICORD 10486 V2 when you
have finished the pre-work. Use for this the delivered cable connection socket
TRANSICORD 10485 and a three-wire cable with a wire diameter of at least 1.5 mm ², better

2.5 mm ². The line should not be long any more than 5 metres. Also protection ground has to
